I think the article refers to Japan and not the US. When it comes to 3D broadcasts, I may be wrong but I think the first one was made by Sky of the Arsenal vs Manchester United football match back at the end of January (1-3 to Man U - ...bugger...).]]>Mar 31st 2010 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/Mar 31st 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/
What do you mean?

Well, I mean that for nearly three thousand years man has been searching for the lost ark. It's not something to be taken lightly. No one knows its secrets. It's like nothing you've ever gone after before.

[laughing] Oh, ginhead. What are you trying to do, scare me? You sound like my mother. We've known each other for a long time. I don't believe in magic, a lot of superstitious hocus pocus. I'm going after a find of incredible historical significance, you're talking about the boogie man. Besides, you know what a cautious fellow I am.

it was crazy crowded on an off day in april last time i was there. I can't imagine it getting any MORE crowded...

@Brokinarrow
Vagrant is referring to the gold shrine that a group of people is carrying in the middle of the crowd. Asakusa is the part of Tokyo where this festival is held. The temple itself is named Sensoji Temple IIRC.]]>Mar 31st 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/
This Asakusa Sanja festival doesn't look too interesting to me (mikoshi parades seldom are) - there are much more interesting crazy festivals involving fire, dance, fighting battles with 4t heavy danjiri carts, riding tree trunks down a hill, naked men (and women), and 25m tall lanterns) but if you are stuck in Tokyo around this time then a visit to the sanja matsuri is certainly worth it and a good experience!]]>Apr 1st 2010 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/some friends and i are travelling there around that time and had actually scheduled to be there on that day. good timing, huh?

what are the festivals for those other things you described? any of those going on around that week in May?]]>Apr 2nd 2010 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/Mar 31st 2010 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/Mar 31st 2010 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/Mar 31st 2010 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/Mar 31st 2010 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/Mar 31st 2010 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/
The first American HDTV broadcasts to consumers were in 1998. The Superbowl didn't go HD for two more years, and most Americans waited several more years before jumping into HDTV. Lession: It can take years for a significant amount of content to switch over to a new format, and years before consumers adapt a new technology.]]>Mar 31st 2010 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/I meant to say "Whose to say Comcast won't change the way they broadcast 3DTV?"]]>Mar 31st 2010 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/People didnt "wait" to get their HDTVs, they just got them when they could afford them.]]>Mar 31st 2010 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/
Now they want to to diverge and roll out 3D TV.

Terrible news for people who have paid so much and waited and wanted to watch HD.]]>Mar 31st 2010 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/Mar 31st 2010 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/Mar 31st 2010 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/first-live-3d-broadcast-to-rock-japanese-airwaves-on-may-16/

Gods willing, the heavens will open up one day so Zeus can smite this 3-D fever gripping Hollywood and the world.

Given 2010s track record — with "Alice in Wonderland" and "How to Train Your Dragon" gobbling up millions — that's about as likely as Kate Gosselin winning "Dancing With the Stars."

Unlike its 3-D predecessors, "Clash of the Titans," opening today, is dubiously different. Director Louis Leterrier originally shot a respectably entertaining redo of the 1981 cult classic in 2-D. Then along came the invasion of James Cameron's gangly big blue people in "Avatar" and the resulting 3-D mania. Cuckoo green with envy, "Titan's" producers furiously added the effects.

In the end, who cares how obnoxiously calculated the 3-D reupholstering is? What matters is whether the enhancements of a reportedly $180-million production make the film better — and the answer is a big fat no.!]]>Mar 31st 2010 7:30PM
